Wind Loading

[Burgon87]

Is there any way to apply wind loading to a steel structure as an area load without cladding it first?

I have a steel frame structure/building and wish to apply wind loading from all directions, However as there many different spans between columns I will have to calculate individual loads per column. I was wondering if there is a simple way to do this without applying loads to individual columns......simply because I have over 100 external columns.

Many Thanks.

I'm afraid you have to apply loads to claddings.
